IMC. You’ve already got a community growing here that very much enjoy the game. The last thing you want to do is cause distrust between the community by placing Pay to Win items in your Cash Shop. I hope you consider these options.
Instead, put neutral items which won’t affect the game’s balance in any way. This includes:
- Costumes - Let players dress their character up to a range of costumes which are merely cosmetics. Instead of being stuck to their class costumes
- Gachapon - Give players a chance to win something great that ARE NOT equipments which gives them more benefits to other players. This could be crafting recipes, crafting items.
- Skill and Attribute Resets - These are great especially for player’s whom like to create builds
- Color Dyes - For hair or for costumes, gives players even more options to customise their looks
- Character traits change - These can range from changing the Characters gender, face, or hairstyle
- Cards only for Card Battle Minigames - Cards which are only to be used for the card battle minigame. These cards however cannot be used for anything else other than card minigames.
Personally, I very much prefer if the game goes Pay to Play or Buy to Play. However, since IMC has decided to go with the Free to Play model, the best I can hope is that IMC does not incorporate game balance breaking items into the cash shops. I am particularly worried considering the other game IMC has made, “GRANADO ESPADA” has been said to be very unfair towards it’s monetisation methods
The above are some of the suggestions I can think of that would be fair to the players while maintaining a stable use of the cash shop.
IMC, please consider your cash shop options fairly. I really love Trees of Savior so far and hope that it does not turn into the many other MMO’s that exhibit a Pay to Win model.
